Surprise...surprise.... what else would you expect from a Dumbnut..!!!!
Would you expect anything less from a REPUBLICAN!!
i can't help but question these comments = Are they written about Bush OR the Comidean Cartoonist ?????
That's your opion cartoonist, untastefull.
Let's just end ENDA! Nothing funny about allowing deviant sexual behavior to be given special status? Ugh!! And why should a guy in a dress with his male genitalia intact be allowed to share the same bathroom with any woman young or old? That is true deviance not only in regard to moral standards but an unwelcome intrusion as well.
To Carol who wrote "That's your opion cartoonist, untastefull."
First of all, if your going to give your opinion, then spell opinion right.
I think the cartoonist was very tasteful and right on the money. Bush is a monkey face idiot that only is for himself. All he wants is money and power. He doesn't care about the American people. George Bush senior is even ashamed of his own son.
You Republicans need to wake up and look at what Bush Jr. is shoveling - - Propaganda!!!!!!!
Devin...gee your name calling of the President was so unique...and adding that immature comment about his own father not liking him was indeed spiteful and soooooo typical of the "New Democractic Party" As to the animation,,por voice and not really funny,,Distasteful for gays and for its portrayal of the President and his office
This is a great cartoon and it sheds some light on what our president is really focusing on. He doesn't care about our jobs, gas prices or the fact that we are killing innocent people in a war over nothing. What does it matter if two men or two women marry each other? Who does it really bother. They are married they live in their own homes and how the hell do you even know if they are married or not!! They could have a ring on their finger and you wouldn't know the difference. This is the BS that our country is so worried about! Get over yourselves. People are getting married and divorced within days and that's not distasteful?? Face it our president sucks, he always has and he always will. There is no redeeming himself now.
Who voted for this guy anyway???????
Thankfully we have a president who cares about the values this country was built on & he has the guts to stick to what he believes in even when it's unpopular !! I proudly voted for W. All of our presidents have made mistakes and will continue to do so. I suggest we pray for our president who is trying his best to keep us safe....
Cher - Wake up and smell the coffee, W and the neo-cons have sold this country down the tubes so they could make more money for themselves. W will go down in history as being the worst president of the US, bar none. Look at our deficit, value of the dollar, our standing in the international community, all at all-time lows. The mess in Iraq brought on by the Pollyanna view that the war would pay for itself with Iraq oil revenues and that we could transplant democracy in a land and culture that historically does not understand or subscribe to the rule of law. And now a 1/2 trillion dollars later we are no closer to a solution with American lives being lost every day, for what? Just think of what could that money could have done if it had been spent in the US on our aging infastruture, universal healthcare, and alternative energy research. Truly a sad state of affairs that the next president will have to deal with. We will all have to make some very serious sacrifices of the next decade to put our financial house back in order, thanks to W and his cronies.
I just can't believe there are people who are still supporting "W."
I am a PROUD "Lez-bo" with a proud family who financially supports this proud nation. W has ruined it... get our people home from Iraq. Let them give the support to their own country... Katrina is not fully over. Not everyone has a home. As far as "Christian views" are we not supposed to love all above all things? The self proclaimed Christians clearly do not... and for the record... gays do not hurt anyone. I didn't invite you into my bedroom, and I sure as hell don't want to be in yours.
Were do they get the word gay from he is wright ban all poofter marages They are a blot on the world
I am with Cher.... we need to stand behind our President, just because he is in a position of authority over us. He might not be perfect, but who is! Bill Clinton certainly was not! And every President put in office could not get there had it not been allowed by God. An immoral man corrupts a nation, while a moral man can save a nation. I believe W cares about us despite all the ugly accusations made against him. He is not playing the "poll game" - pandering only to those who line up on the popular side of things. Popular is sometimes wrong! He knows someone greater than us and our opinions and our nasty and hateful little comments, slanders, etc. He trusts in the one who knows more about the overall plan of this universe. Why don't you try looking to God? We might not understand what's happening today, but God does. We are called to love by God's word but that doesn't include loving what He defines as sin. We love the person, not the sin. And we recognize that we are all (all of mankind) is born in sin. (The book of Romans lays this out clearly regarding sexual sin). That is why Jesus said "You must be born again." To be born new, out of the nature of sin and into God's grace and love and forgiveness. Read the Bible - the book of John, and ask God with an open mind, to show you his truth.
Jan, are saying God puts people in office. Jan, I was not born in sin. I came out between my mothers legs. God did not write the bible. The bible was written by people who thought that world was flat.
Jan, You can't get thru to idiots. Why try? It's ALL in His hands anyway, right? WE're happy and at peace with the moral lives we live. And that's what matters! You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it.
Keith, Everyone is born with a sin-nature. Get it right!
God IS The Word. And the Word became life. You might need to study more on "How to Comprehend 101.
Unless you knock, seek and ask, you will never know the true spiritual powers and how "they" work. Many of you are what we call "the lost". Once you find the spiritual powers of God, no one can ever take that knowledge. For that, we will be persecuted for our Faith.

If we want to protect the sanctity of marriage we should ban divorce. I am lesbian and have been with my partner for over 13 years. Our relationship has been the only steady one within our circle of friends - straight and gay. We come from upper-middle-class backgrounds, we have advanced degrees, we pay our taxes and we mow our grass just like our straight neighbors. Why can't we get past the basics? People should be able to make a home with whomever they choose. The Bible and religion do not have any bearing in this matter - there is a separation of church and state. I don't want marriage - I want equal rights.
oh man... while I am a Christian woman, married to a Christian man, we BOTH AGREE that "W" is the worst excuse for a president we've ever had! We agree with Tra and TS above. And, anyone can profess to be a "Christian", bow their heads and "say" they hear from God. Actions truly speak louder than words and W has proved, at least in our eyes that he is not to be trusted. I shamefully admit that I voted him before, what a freakin mistake, but at least Kerry d/n have to step into W's mess. We have been deceived, our entire nation just like some will be deceived in the last days by the antichrist. My God help us all!
I must say that W is our President. Do you know what would happen to all those taking shots at our President in China?
You would be killed. I’m not saying he has made all the right choices but, you know we don't either. Sure the war is costing money and lifes. But if we don't do it now we will have to deal with it later.
I have a 20 yr old son in collage and he’s so anti-government it makes me ill. But that's his freedom to do it. I would hope that when some of you get older that you will understand that it's not about us but what we are doing for those who are less fortunate that don't live in the USA.
Our USA is different then when I grew up. Look at all the crime,look what the ACLU has done to all of us,even those who support them.They just don't realize how they have been hurt.
But later when they change things for your generation you will not like it either. So you must balance that with a President who will not back down when the chips are down.
Reading the comments from the old testament conservative religionists above I am struck by what a huge gap there is between what Jesus taught and what passes for Christianity today and it is the so-called Christians who are most opposed to anyone who calls for tolerance, peace, love for their enemies or neighbors and compassion for the poor and oppressed. George Bush (either one) or any of the conservative leaders who all talk of their great religious credits wouldn't know a Christian act if it actually happened to him/them. He is an intolerant, puritanical bigot and a kick-ass warmonger, just like the seeming rest of the right wing religionists. Praise Jesus - that is all they seem to think they need to say or do to be a Christian. But even the devils believe and tremble, but it doesn't make them Christians. The people who quietly go every day and LIVE a life of kindness, tolerance, peacemaking and charity are the real Christians who never get any credit or notice.. Sad. And Mike has the gall to talk about what the great USofA if doing "for" the poor people of the world. 150,000 civilians dead in Iraq and eye witness accounts of US GIs gunning down little children "For 9/11" even though Iraq had nothing to do with that (but Bush's best friends - Saudi Arabia provided most of the hijackers. That is one of the most repressive dictatorships, both religious and civil, in the world, and they have oil. Ask yourself why Bush doesn't invade them to "free" the people and promote democracy. China has more religious freedom than Arabia does. Think about it.) Wake up and start reading and quit believing everything Bush and his rich cohorts just tell you. He's a proven liar. The problem is what the US is doing "to" so many people around the world. We have been installing and supporting right wing brutal dictatorships for decades who will allow US corporations to flourish at the expense of their own peope. Do you think people around the world who were polled and said the US was the greatest danger to world peace are just saying that because they are jealous that you live in a country that spends billions and trillions on military and pre-emptive invasions of other countries who are no threat in any possible way to the US, a country that has 1% of the population that owns 60% of the wealth, that has the highest infant mortality rate in the developed world, 46 million working poor who have no health care (disease is the greatest terrorist threat there is. Millions are killed by cancer, heart disease etc. compared to 3000 killed in 2001 by human terrorists. Yet the conservatives don't care about those millions who die without adequate health care. Where's the Christianity here?). The US also ranks 52nd for freedom of the press. I could go on, but the point is the only thing the US is first in in the whole world is military - bombs, land mines etc. and people in prison (2nd). This is not what Jesus taught! The Bush Bunch and conservative policies have created more hatred and enemies toward the US than if the US would just mind its own business or spend all the money it does on bullying militarism on ending poverty and suffering in the world and end its support for despots. The US is wayyyyyyyyyyy down the list in per capita giving in REAL foreign aid, once you take all the land mines and bullets out of the "gifts" that give taxpayer support to the ruling elite's robber baron friends like Haliburton and the weapons manufacturers. You've got the internet start educating yourself about what your government and country is really doing to other people. You wouldn't like it if some other country came into the US and told you how the live and used military force and economic coersion would you? Of course not. Here's a thought for all you right wing, kick-ass, all for war and against policies to help the poor and socially ostracized - IF YOU OR BUSH WERE ARRESTED FOR BEING A CHRISTIAN AND PUT ON TRIAL, WOULD THERE BE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO CONVICT YOU? Read just the gospels and only Jesus' words - not what your preachers say, but what Jesus himself said (there is a BIG difference) and then answer this question. PS Mike, the ACLU only fights for the Bill of Rights - what about those rights do you not believe in or want to defend?
If the US is a free country - and that is a debatable question (are you free to travel to any country you want to? NO. that is not freedom, for instance) then everyone in the country, including gay people and other people you don't like should have equal rights under the law. Right? Then they should be able to marry anyone they want to and enjoy the same rights as anyone else. Right! If not you have a country like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somali or any number of these repressive states where prayer in schools is mandatory, religion is the state, homosexuals are beheaded, women who are raped are executed (its their fault after all) and men run everything. Sounds like an American right-wing, evangelical, neo-conservative dream. Right? Right! So move there. Its about time that the US started being what it has always proclaimed it was, but has never come too close to being, except for the rich and the powerful. Liberty and justice for ALL. Jay hit it all right on the head. Impeach Bush and Cheney. No one has ever deserved it more. It is interesting that for the party that talks the most about religion and character is the party that has produced the most corrupt administrations in my lifetime - Nixon, Reagan, old Bush and little Bush. Just shows you can't believe what the politicians say - look at what they really do.
Lets see, I remember reading about Adam and Eve, but
I don't seem to recall it being "Adam & Steve."
At least Bush is against abortion, gay marrige, and he thinks we should keep our guns. I'm not saying that he has done everyting right. I definitely don't think he has done enough on illegal immigration, but the Democrats haven't either. Why is it that the Republicans never complain . . but the Democrats always find something to complain about? If a Democrat wins the election this time, and as a person who is honored to live in this country, I will not bash and bash this person for 4 years. If the majority elects them, then the rest of us should shut up for 4 years and let this person do their job to the best of their ability. Then, 4 years later, if you are not happy, then GO VOTE! And if socialized medicine gets approved, guess who will pay for it? All of us. Yes.... all of us who work will pay for everyone's healthcare.
